What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether an augmented reality virtual ruler can help doctors place PICC lines more accurately and with less radiation. Twenty adults scheduled for non-emergency PICC placement will have the virtual ruler used during their procedure. The main goal is to see if the catheter tip ends up in the right spot, with secondary goals of reducing radiation dose and procedure time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
augmented reality virtual ruler
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a safer, faster way to place PICC lines, reducing radiation exposure and improving accuracy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 20 participants. The virtual ruler may not improve outcomes enough to justify its use in routine practice.

Expected to finish

Jun 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
